Fashion Cycles – But Do We?
Posted on February 22, 2012 by Kimberly
If you are heading for 50 like I am and think you have seen every style in fashion come and go… you probably have. Fashion does move in cycles and over time what may have been considered old and dated… just a few years ago, suddenly becomes new again. Yes, with a little tweeking on the part of the designer, fashion trends do come back again and again.
But before you dive into your closet and dig out all those gems you loved and charished way back when, consider the following:
- Is it comfortable?
- Is it still me?
- Does it flatter my shape?
- Is the colour flattering?
- Does it coordinate with anything in my closet?
Fashion styles may move in cycles and come back into vogue again and again. However, as human beings, we evolve and change over time. Before putting on that outfit you wore faithfully in the 1970’s or 1980’s, think about who you are today. Even though the fashion style may be similar or the same as the good old days… it is likely you aren’t.

7 Reasons to Strategically Colour Your Wardrobe
Posted on February 13, 2012 by Kimberly
Wearing colours that suit you will instantly make you look healthier and more attractive. As an image consultant, determining the most flattering colour qualities for my client, is one of the first things I like to focus on when we work together. Why, you ask??
- Easier shopping for clothing and make-up
- Mistake proof clothing colour coordination
- Faster dressing at home
- Easier packing when traveling
These are all great reasons. But the reasons my clients tell me they are happy they know their best colour qualities are:
- Avoid mistakes!
- Save money!
- Sparkle!

Make the Most of Your Handshake
Posted on February 8, 2012 by Kimberly
I have written about handshakes in past blog posts. However, occasionally clients ask me questions about how to make the most of your handshake. Next time you shake hands consider the following:
- When shaking hands in western society the hands should be parallel and hands should be clasped web to web. This isn’t the case with all cultures, so it is important to be understanding.
- If you have small hands and want to make your hand seem more substantial when shaking hands, separate your index and middle fingers slightly with extending your hand for a handshake.
- If you wear rings on your right hand when shaking hands, you may hurt the other person if you clasp their hand too tightly. This is the same when shaking hands with someone wearing a ring.
- When seated, always stand to shake hands. This will bring both parties closer to the same level and both will feel more comfortable.

I found this website easy to foollw from beginning to end. The very idea of hiring someone to help me with my tasks had never occurred to me. The concise way the information was presented by Kimberly, makes this a very real possibility!
I’m so happy to have discovered this site, it is really everything my friends from work and I have been searching for. The detailed information on the website is very helpful and is going to assist my family and friends all the time. It shows that everyone gained a lot of info about this and the other hyper links and information like wise show it. I’m not usually on the internet all day long but when I get a break i’m always hunting for this type of knowledge and stuff similarly related to it. I have three of my friends that have also picked up an interest in this because of what I have found out about it and they will definitely going to be visiting the web site because it is such an incredible score.
